I spot something orange

Okay so I've tried this a couple of times: A weekly photograph or two of mine. I can never do it more than a week, mainly because I have too many to choose from and always give up.

I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about colors the other day. I absolutely LOVE color and surround myself with it. We talked about how we tend to associate a color to a person. It turns out that mine time after time is orange. She wasn't the first one to link the color with me and my personality. So here I am, trying a new thing.... photographs of mine that have the color orange in them [whether dominant or not]. It turns out that I have a lot of them and actually have surrounded myself by accents of the color.




I went on to search the world wide web to see the meaning of the color. Some very interesting results came up.
